Hi, Guys.

Good Day!

Need your assistance on what required core services/attributes of Lync Frontend servers should be monitored and created within a hardware load balancer to ensure accurate load-balancing of our Lync environment? Please advise.

Thank you.

5061, 443, 4443 are big ones, but there's a setting just for this.  You can set a hardware load balancer port specifically for this in the Topology Builder for the front end pool and monitor that.

Hi, Eric.

Good Day!

What I mean is, we need to identify which core services/ports of Lync 2010 Frontend servers needs to be created/added within a hardware load balancer to ensure accurate failover functionality for our Lync environment if any event one Lync server would become unavailable. Please advise

Thank you.

Hi, Guys.

We would like to make a follow-up on this. Please advise.

Thank you

Well, if one front end was unavailable, the ports I mentioned would already be affected and your HLB would know.  Are you looking for a complete list of ports to LB?  Are you using a combination of DNS and Hardare Load Balancing as recommended?

Hi, Anthony.

Good Day!

I need to determine the complete as much as possible all the core services/ports/attributes of Lync 2010 Frontend servers which would be created/updated within HLB to ensure accurate failovering of our Lync 2010 environment. So that in any event that one of Lync FE server becomes unavailable and down, then the HLB will determine it thru ports identified and will failover to the other available Lync FE server. 

Thank you.

The HLB port should do a lot of that for you, but if you want to monitor more, the complete list of ports is here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833(v=ocs.14).aspx.

Hi IrwinBats,

I'm marking the reply as answer as there has been no update for a couple of days.

If you come back to find it doesn't work for you, please reply to us and unmark the answer.
